The release has already been delayed for a week. You know that when
this bug is very important for you, another one will be very important
for me, and still another one for my neighbor, we could delayed it for
weeks...
If the end product is better for it... yes? Surely there's a ...
hierarchy of bugs in terms of the effect on the end user?
what would help to bring more people in ? tools, process, meetings ?
how can we bring our community to help here, not only by meaning you
investing more time (this is not my aim really :) but by having an
attractive QA process ?
It's a very kind offer, much appreciated. But I'm afraid money will have
to get involved (which is why it's taking time to set up). We all know,
I'm sure, that out of a pool of X people, only a small % will
participate. I once did some rough and ready numbers on the percentages
(based on the number of contributors to the "big" projects like LO and
Mozilla in countries of comparable technology levels) and it would
appear that the ratio of people who are willing to spend serious amounts
of time (for no money) on something like Open Source development is
actually infinitesimal. Something about the human psyche I guess.
Which means that a language with less than 100,000 speakers is likely to
rely on a single person for ALL their OS, including l10n. Anything above
that, they're either getting paid or your dealing with a very odd
locale. Scottish Gaelic has less than 60,000...
